Warning
Limit the RS Monitor’s exposure to adverse conditions
such as dust, oil, moisture, and corrosive vapors in order to
minimize maintenance and repair costs.
Remember that the temperature within a protective enclo-
sure is generally higher than the external temperature.
Thus, if the monitor is operating inside an enclosure at
temperature levels above its rated ambient temperature,
you must cool the enclosure.
Electrical
Specifications
The RS Monitor’s electrical specifications are shown in the table
below.
Important
The PowerStation RS Monitor’s power supply automati-
cally detects the input voltage level and adjusts accord-
ingly. However, always use reliable sources of power and
isolate all communication cables from power lines to
enhance noise immunity.
If possible, locate the monitor away from machinery that
produces intense electrical noise (for example, arc
welders). Otherwise, isolate the input power to the monitor
from the equipment generating the noise.
